I really like the M48 and they are less expensive. They shoot the 8x57 and are lighter so the recoil is a little more bruising. It is a post war variant of the German K98 made with the German tooling. It does have a shorter action so the parts are not interchangeable. It is the last of the 98 style Mausers.

For disclosure, I own and shoot the following:
1895 Chilean Mauser
Swiss K31
Finnish M39 (Mosin variant)
Yugoslavian M48
M1 Garand
M1 Carbine
